Syllabus

<p>1. Registration.—A deed to land must be recorded in the county where the land is situate; and its registration in another county, under a mistake as to its true locality, is worthless as notice to a subsequent purchaser,</p> <p>3. Same.— One who claims to have acquired title to the land o£ another, by virtue of an adverse possession of five years under a deed recorded, must show a perfect compliance with the terms of the statute. If his deed has been recorded in another county than that in which the land is situated, no matter how clear the mistake, or from what cause it originated, the bar of the statute will not apply.</p>
